Advertisement
Waking up in a cool room John stretch himself up, getting out of the king size bed, he gets the remote for the air condition pressing the button to close it, starting to leave the room he notices that the sound of the condition closing didn’t come, pressing again nothing happen, taking a looking up he notice that it hasn’t any power, pressing the light switches for the lights and sees no response, realizing what happens he gets out of his room to the three room apartment, raising the shutters of his apartment on the 4th floor, his hit by the warm light of the day.
Making a cup of coffee Jonh takes a seat on the couch, picking up the phone from the coffee table trying to open it but nothing happens, remembering that at the night it had 65% of battery. [Something is wrong] he thought. Going into his room to check his laptop, trying to open it up he is hit again by the same problem, it didn’t have any battery making sure that something is wrong, getting to the balcony he takes a look around to find that the streets were empty, more empty than normal, at this early time of the day the streets were empty except of the few cars and people that passed, his apartment was looking at the main road of Katerini, waiting for a minute for someone to pass but nobody not a car, not a person, the bakery that was always open before he was awake is closed. Something for sure was wrong.
Getting inside of his apartment, John takes a seat on his three person couch, going around his apartment to check all his devices that have a battery, but he finds that they don’t work anymore. He started thinking what could it be [are we in war and Katerini was hit with E.M.P. even if that happened someone should have been outside] getting to the balcony to make sure that nobody was outside, looking at the street again he finds again nobody was there, waiting for the possibility of someone passing. After some time of waiting he hears a sound from his left side, noticing something moving in the corner of the street, John moved closer to the street corner from his balcony, the movements were from a trash can shaking, the movements were unnatural to a point that someone was making it, the shaking continued but he could not see who was doing it, he was waiting for the person that is doing it to stop, but it continued resigning that it will not stop soon John headed inside, before he closed the window, a scream broke the silence that was stagnated for some time, from the right side of the street, he sees two people running away from a giant bug, the scene was terrifying the party of one male and one female run like they never run but their escape from it was futile, like a wolf hunting his prey it followed them and it was faster than them. Probably understanding that the female stopped, seeing that the male did the same, the female prepared for a fight using her hands to guard herself, the bug didn’t stop it charged like a crazed bull to the closer victim, that was by chance the female maybe it was fate or bad luck but she was the target, the bug point his pincers that were like a bear trap it opened enough to have a gap and charged, they penetrated her body with a splatter of blood it washed the face of the bug, the attack was clean it hit her and went through like a hot knife cutting butter, she didn’t have any chance, she was now on the ground screaming her feet had didn't have enough strength to hold her up anymore, she was still alive unfortunately but for not for much longer, because the bug started snapping his pincer until the female stop moving. The male that was behind her was frozen he looked like a Greek statue, he had stopped moving probably from shock realizing what happened John yelled

Waking up the man looked at John his eye were shining they were filled with hope, he started running towards the building. John went inside, taking the key to open the doors he started running, getting to the entrance he unlocks the door, waiting for the man to come but he never did because when he looked outside, there was nobody except of a corpse of the male that was face down to the ground been chewed by a second bug that came out of nowhere, John closed the door turning his back on the street he raised his body through the stairs depressed.
Reaching the apartment, closing the door John started preparing to leave getting some food to his backpack some first aid kit products and his phone in hope he can fix it. Ravaging through the kitchen to get a big knife, getting to the balcony he looks to find the perfect moment to leave, looking again at the trash can that was shaking he notice finally what it was, it was a bug trying to get inside it. Waiting for the perfect time to live his apartment so he was not attacked by any bug, but every hour it passed more people died, he yelled for them to come to him but in their panic they didn’t notice or couldn’t reach the apartment before they were attacked, feeling more and more depressed about his failure to save anyone, he waited for the perfect moment to come and it at the middle of noon, he got out of his apartment, sneaking away from the central road that was filled with the dead bodies that are been used to feed bugs, sticking his body in the wall he started running towards his friend house, it was 2 minute of running continually, reaching Nikos home he notices that the shutters were down, smiling because his friend probably was still alive, opening the outside door John stopped and took some breaths he was covered with sweat from running and was tired but he was happy, reaching the Nikos entrance door he knocks and yells .

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!
